Thanks for the advice bubble, i am def going to go to doctors tomorrow. that must have been a horrible couple of days for you hanging in limbo and then having a mc. i am so worried.

so sorry to hear the witch got you rtuff best of luck for next month x

SuziBhoy · 25/03/2009 16:17

sorry AF got you rtuf, good luck with trying again this time!

Rtuff · 25/03/2009 16:05

Hi All

AF finally got me this morning after a 36 day long cycle!!

Fingers crossed for a Jan 2010 baby!!

Bubblebell1 · 25/03/2009 15:29

Hey Suzi! im good thanks. just waiting for the bd marathon at the end of the week. I def think you should test again. you may have ovd a little later and could still be pg i hope its a bfp

seany i would go to the drs tomorrow. last month i had a +ive test then a neg then 3 more +ives and then a neg. i then went on to have a mc 2 days later. dr said that it was a non viable pregnancy. i had a small amount of hcg that was being picked up by the sensitive tests but a blood test showed that the levels were falling and therefore pg ended. I hope that its not whats happening to you and i know of positive stories where ppl have had neg tests then gone on to have a healthy baby but i would ask for a blood test to try and ease the worries..

SuziBhoy · 25/03/2009 14:24

Hi girls

how is everyone?

im havin a bit of a crisis at the mo, just wondering if anyone would have any advice?

ok here goes: still no af and im on cd33. ( i have reg 30 day cycle)

still have horrible taste in my mouth so poas on cd31 and got bfp (very faint but there!)

Got sooooooo excited,but decided to do another 1 the next day(yesterday afternoon). bfn! ?????????????

got up at 5am this morning and poas again, and again bfn

what is going on? why is my body being so cruel? i must admit i am feeling really upset and still af has not arrived.

Might go to the doctors in the morning and ask for a blood test, what do you think?

Bubblebell1 · 25/03/2009 08:26

Morning girls!

Award this was my first cycle after mc and af arrived 5 days early too. how strange. good luck for this cycle.

Thanks Joy and Ray so i guess ived gained a day then... im on cd11.

Ray this first bit is strange isnt it... you cant believe its really happened and then you worry its gonna end in tears. Everything will be fine im sure. what are the odds of you having twins?? wouldnt that be amazing. id love twins

award2812 · 24/03/2009 20:08

i have been awol for a while. The witch got me last Friday, was expecting it tomorrow if not pg, so it was 5 days early but first af since mc.

...so here we go again!! Depending on how long my cyle is now, 29 days? 34 days? I have no clue, but I may still make it for a December baby, I'm 30 in December so would like it to happen around then.

Congrats ray81!! x

ray81 · 24/03/2009 18:55

Bubble and Joy, will def stay with you have not even considering moving to Pg thread as is far to early and dont want to jinx anything.

I feel ok very tired but thats because was up at 5.30 to do test and never went back to sleep. Its very strange as cannot get excited feel calm and apprenhensive just realy hoping that this one sticks.

Bubble thanks that is such a lovely thing to say i feel the same about alot of you on here.

Joy from what i understood when i went throught fertility treatment was that you count CD1 as the day you get full bleed so if it came on suddenly at 6pm but was full flow that is CD1 which would be why FF has done it that way.
also think could possibly have been a CP your cycle was very unusualy long.

Good luck both of you for bding this month have everything crossed for both of you.

Joy27 · 24/03/2009 17:48

Yes Ray, do stay with us! How are you feeling? I hope you're allowing yourself to be excited.

Bubble I think it's the first full day of bleeding that counts as CD1- but I think I got that information from you a couple of months ago! So am not much help.

So you've got a good weekend planned then? (Bom chicka wow wow...). Our shagathon will be next week. We are away and when we get back, our housemate is away, so should be able to go full throttle. Hurrah!

My period has been heavier, more painful and very, erm, clotty (SORRY!). I guess it doesn't matter if it was a CP or not really- but I suppose I'd feel a little encouraged if it was a CP. How sad is that?

Bubblebell1 · 24/03/2009 16:39

Hi joy, it is possible that it was a cp. it would explain why you were late. was af heavier than usual?

Ray i am soo pleased for you. i found myself telling my dh today as if you were a real life friend

stay with us pleaseeee... want to hear all the details

im feeling better. am on cd9/10 and gearing up for a bd marathon this weekend.

advice pls.... anyone. my af arrived very suddenly and heavily at 6pm in the evening. is that cd1 or the next. when i put the info on my chart ff make it cd1 ??? i thought the next full day was???

Suzi how are you?

Joy27 · 24/03/2009 13:47

Ray, wishing you all the best for this pregnancy... after all you have been through you deserve smooth sailing (and possibly a 2for1 deal too!). Hurrah for babies!

I'm wondering idly whether my extra-long cycle this month was caused by a chemical pregnancy. Not that it matters, I suppose, but it's just odd that my period was sooo late. And in a strange way, I'd feel better knowing that sperm met egg, iyswim (that acronym looks like "if you swim", which is appropriate...). CPs don't give a +ve on a pregnancy test, so I guess it's possible... no way of knowing though.

Feeling a bit hacked off really after initial relief yesterday. But Ray your news has cheered me up no end.

How is everyone today?

ray81 · 24/03/2009 12:47

Hi Joy EDD is the 1st Dec. At least is what FF told me so will have to see what docs say.

Spoke to EPU today as have had 3mc and therefore they will monitor me. Waiting for call from consultant in next few days to see how they want to proceed. MAy get a scan at 7 weeks which would be nice as took clomid so would like to know if 1 or 2 in there.
I dont mind either way.

Joy27 · 24/03/2009 12:10

Congratulations Ray, so pleased for you!

When are you due?

Trikken · 24/03/2009 08:37

congratulations ray! hope everyone else gets their bfp soon!

Bubblebell1 · 24/03/2009 07:58

Congratulations Ray im so pleased for you

ray81 · 24/03/2009 07:40

Right well blow me down with a feather...................i got a BFP.

Joy no you dont have to take temp in hoo ha just normally in the mouth. I got a digital one in Safers and it was just £2.00. You have to take it first thing in morning before you do ANYTHING and after 3 hrs of sleep.

SuziBhoy · 23/03/2009 18:48

pmsl at hoo-ha

Joy27 · 23/03/2009 18:21

Ooh good luck Ray! Fingers crossed for you! It does look promising, you must admit. How exciting, do keep us posted...

Yes, 42 days followed by a fully crampy, crappy period. Ain't that a kick in the head?
I may cave and start temping. Actually I have a question about temping. Do you have to, erm, take the temperature in your hoo-ha? It's called basal body temperature so I just assumed...

Please tell me it's not true!

ray81 · 23/03/2009 16:13

Bubble, so sorry you felt so crap over the weekend, i know what you mean about thinking back over the Mc, i have a friend that is 6 weeks ahead of where i should have been which would make me 24 Weeks now and it still hits me like a ton of bricks everytime i think of it.
And it is so so hard when you hear of close friends that are Pg as you know you will have to hear about for the next 7-8 months.

Joy sorry Af got you i think 42days has got to be a record surely. Personally and i dont know how you feel about it but perhaps yopu should try temping as it pretty much tells you when you have Ovulated and therefore you know when to expect Af i think it takes alot of the guessing away.

Suzi i hope you get a BFP soon and Af doesnt get you.

Well temp is still high and 14DPO tomorrow so have brought test to do in morning not that i believe for a minute i will get BFP it would be all to perfect with the 7dpo spike and the doc giving me progesterone etc etc. Cant help but hope though !!!

Had call from haemotology on sat telling me had been referred to them by Gyni but wouldnt tell me why, sooooooooooooo major panic and worrying over the weekend. Called into docs this morn couldnt tell me anything so phone gyni and they have said that they want to investigate possible blood clotting disorder Ummmmmmmmmmmmm could be good news as if it is then they can fix it. Although do take asprin already so hopefully that will be helping.

Am very very tired and need to take DD to ice skating in a min will frezze my bottom of sat there for half an hr

SuziBhoy · 23/03/2009 11:34

Hey everyone

Hey millie hope your lucky this month

joy sorry to hear the witch arrived, i was so sure you were pg but on the bright side af has appeared and you can start trying again..... still in limbo and im now on CD 42.. i bet it will arrive like yours did, when im peeing on a stick or something

seany I have actually had my dp check if he can see anything He's like "If you cant see anything.. then what makes you think I will"

Joy27 · 23/03/2009 10:47

Hello ladies,

Just as I was about to give a urine sample at the doc's this morning, to double-triple check I'm not pregnant, literally as I was hovering elegantly over the plastic pot, I got my period. So my 42-day odyssey is at an end. Wtf was all that about? And how annoying is it going to be from now on- I'll have to wait for 42 DAYS each cycle before I allow myself to get excited. RRRRAARGH.

On the positive side, dp and I are off for an anniversary break next week, and this means our hotel-based bonkathon could make us a baby, which would be quite romantical.

Also, I actually feel quite relieved that af has arrived (for once) so I can stop fretting about my disappearing periods.

seany I must confess to actually fishing tests out of the bin hours later, just in case I didn't wait long enough for result to develop

Our hopes are now pinned on you, and on you rtuff and you ray (anyone else still in limbo?).

Bubble sorry you had a rough weekend. That news must have been hard to take. How are you feeling today?

Hi Millie- sorry to hear about your miscarriage. Sadly there are lots of us here who have walked in your shoes (my mc was last July) so hopefully we'll be able to offer support.

So, CD1 again for me. Onwards and upwards! (When am I gonna be able to stop saying that?!)

Rtuff · 23/03/2009 09:17

Well still no AF for me i am now 4/5 days late, did a Clear Blue test yesterday - BFN - so i'm now wondering where AF is???

I hate limbo land i'd rather just know one way or another... at least if AF was here i know i'd be able to start trying again soon...

How is everyone else getting on?

seanybosmummy · 23/03/2009 09:09

aw bubble im so sorry your feeling like this, it must be very hard for you.u shouldnt feel .sending u a bigggggggg hug X

pmsl at suzi i know exactly what u mean,i did that exact thing yest, even went so far as to take the bfn test out of the bin again just incase i missed the line lol

Joy how are u getting on?

Well af is now officially late! did not arrive yest as planned. I did do another test yest with fmu but it was bfn. it was a cheap boots test i used but im thinkin of getting a first response one later just incase
